I agree. As a new user seeing a completely content-less "up yours" post at the TOP of trending was a real turn off. I see bots and the distribution of wealth within this proof-of-stake system as not being fair to the typical user nor promoting good content. However it's still early days and there is also much that is interesting. Especially interesting are the other steem-blockchain projects like dlive and dtube. I'll stick around for a little bit and see if things improve.
